Australia's dominance of the Women's Ashes continues as England are bowled out for 170 on day one in Melbourne.
England are already on the back foot in their attempt to avoid a 16-0 clean sweep in the Women's Ashes, having been bowled out for 170 on day one of the one-off Test.
Earlier, England had been put in to bat and it took just four balls for their all-too-familiar batting woes to resurface with Maia Bouchier caught behind in Kim Garth's opening over. After winning all six preceding white-ball matches, Australia are now eyeing all 16 points from the series, which has never been achieved in the multi-format Ashes.It was another formidable effort from Australia's all-round bowling attack, kickstarted by the relentless accuracy of their seamers and backed up by the theatre created by King's spin.
Bowling after tea, King had Dunkley caught and bowled for 21 and Danni Wyatt-Hodge was caught at short leg by a diving Litchfield for 22 as both players continued the frustrating trend of making starts but failing to capitalise.
